Learning How to Count: A High Multiplicity Search for the LHC

JHEP 08 (2013) 136

Introduces a subjet-counting search technique for high-multiplicity BSM signals at the LHC, using jet substructure to count subjets within large-radius jets and demonstrating improved sensitivity across eight benchmark signals with reduced reliance on missing energy.

Heavy Flavor Simplified Models at the LHC

JHEP 01 (2012) 074

Develops a comprehensive set of simplified models for LHC final states with top and bottom quarks, optimizing search strategies for pair-produced color octets and triplets, and providing benchmarks that ensure optimal coverage of heavy flavor new physics.

Simplified Models for LHC New Physics Searches

J. Phys. G 39 (2012) 105005

A systematic catalog of simplified models for new-physics searches at the LHC, defining minimal effective Lagrangians with few new particles whose masses and cross-sections map directly to observable quantities. Output of the SLAC workshop on Topologies for Early LHC Searches.

Bigger, Better, Faster, More at the LHC

JHEP 12 (2010) 030

Develops search strategies for new physics at the LHC that improve sensitivity by combining multiple signal regions and optimizing for broad coverage across simplified model mass planes.

Model-Independent Jets plus Missing Energy Searches

Phys. Rev. D 79 (2009) 015005

Proposes a model-agnostic approach to jets + missing energy searches at the LHC by defining kinematic bins and publishing differential cross-section limits that can be reinterpreted for any BSM model producing the same final state.

Searching for Directly Decaying Gluinos at the Tevatron

Phys. Lett. B 666 (2008) 34-37

Shows how to search the complete kinematic parameter space for pair-produced color octets decaying to two jets plus missing energy at the Tevatron, demonstrating that CMSSM-motivated cuts cause existing searches to miss discoverable spectra.

Searching for Gluinos at the Tevatron and Beyond

Int. J. Mod. Phys. A 23 (2008) 4637-4646

Conference proceedings reviewing search strategies for gluinos at the Tevatron and the upcoming LHC, summarizing the model-independent approach to jets plus missing energy searches.
